Keir Starmer On The Brink With Resignation Plan Expected Imminently

Allies of Keir Starmer expect him to set out a timetable for his departure as UK prime minister imminently, putting Britain on course for its seventh premier in a decade and paving the way for Andy Burnham to replace him. A statement from Starmer ceding power could come as soon as Monday, people familiar with the matter said, although they cautioned that was not certain. Starmer spent the last three days considering his position and whether he should continue to fight attempts by Burnham, who was elected to Parliament last week, to depose him. US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday that Starmer "will resign" as prime minister. A UK official said that nothing had been communicated to Trump from the government and he had not spoken to Starmer.
